A2DP problems?

[franklabos]

Hey everyone, just picked up my m3s and am noticing some pretty disappointing bluetooth connectivity for A2DP. My '13 CX-5 works great but the '14 3 cuts out, skips every 30-60 seconds. Seems better when it's near the center console but still not perfect. I'm wondering if there might a problem with my car or if anyone else is experiencing this?

I've had no BT audio playback issues using my Lumia 1020. What phone are you using?

I just got my 3 and was noticing the same thing streaming music from my HTC one running cyanogenmod.

I have that issue intermittently with my Galaxy SIII.

Good to hear that it's not just my car. To those wondering, it's an iPhone but the issue is the car as I use the same device for A2DP on another Mazda (CX5) and my Jambox and Motorola headphones without any problems.

Never having owned a new let alone newly released car, I wonder if going through the dealer is really any better than contacting Mazda directly?

Galaxy Note 2 here, had minor stuttering issues with the stock rom in the beginning, i deleted the pairing and tried again and haven't had that issue since. Switched to an AOKP based rom and that has been flawless.

iPhone 5 (CDMS/Sprint version) with iOS 7.04. No skipping problems.

iPhone 4s (AT&T) with iOS 7.02-7.04 and no skipping problems.

I did have a problem one day where the phone seemed to access the BT over and over again to call itself. I rebooted the phone and haven't had an issue since.

I've been having issues with Bluetooth in my new 2014 sGT. I don't have any issues once it's all connected, but actually getting there is my problem. My phone, a Lumia 900 running Windows Phone 7.8, will connect as Phone but not Audio. To get the Audio to connect, I have to pull up my phone's Bluetooth settings and toggle it, where it'll disconnect the Phone and connect as Audio. Then I can go into the car settings and choose both. But that never works by default. I also have no access to the root/file menu through the car, so changing playlists or podcasts has to be done on my phone itself.

A friend's iPhone 4S with iOS 7 works fine, though. Root menu, automatically syncing both modes, everything. I'm looking into getting a Nexus 5 off-contract, but I don't know how Android would handle the syncing and root menu, especially with regard to podcasts. Whenever I'm commuting I like to listen to podcasts, so it's a big issue for me.

Anyone with a Jellybean or Kit Kat Android phone have any input on how the car handles music files over Bluetooth?
